A comparative analysis has been performed to compare the cooling and dehumidification performance of future ventilation-mode desiccant systems, proposed advanced absorption systems, and conventional vapor compression systems. A common framework has been developed for direct comparison of these different cooling technologies; this method is described in this paper. A companion paper presents the application of this method to specific cooling systems in five cities.

In this paper, the authors determine the energy consumption for heating and air conditioning of an administrative building located in the second climatic area, in Romania. The heating and cooling system is provided with fan coils, and the fresh air is supplied by an AHU. The aim is to identify the best solution from 3 proposed heating and cooling systems that can be applied in order to improve the living conditions, namely: boiler with solid fuel (wood) or gas and chiller with mechanical vapor compression (VCM); reversible heat pump; boiler with solid fuel (wood) or gas and absorption chiller type LiBr-H2O driven by solar energy. The goal of the study is to select one of the three solutions which involves minimum investment and exploitation costs.

An air-conditioning system utilizing solar energy would generally be more efficient, cost wise, if it was used to provide both heating and cooling requirements in the building it serves. Various solar powered heating systems have been tested extensively, but solar powered air conditioning systems have received very little attention. Solar powered absorption cooling systems can serve both heating and cooling requirements in the building it serves. Many researchers have studied the solar absorption air conditioning system in order to make it economically and technically viable. But still, much more research in this area is needed. This paper will help many researchers working in this area and provide them with fundamental knowledge on absorption systems, and a detailed review on the past efforts in the field of solar absorption cooling systems with the absorption pair of lithium-bromide and water. This knowledge will help them to start the parametric study in order to investigate the influence of key parameters on the overall system performance.
